I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

View allI'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?
Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as **Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of **Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My relative is 58 and was diagnosed with breast cancer with supraclavicular lymph node involvement about 20 days ago. She's had an FNAC report and PET scan done. What's the best therapy for her should she start with chemo first or is surgery the better initial option? What are the most effective treatments available?
For breast cancer with supraclavicular lymph node involvement, a multi-modal approach combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy is often the most effective treatment. The order of treatments can vary, but chemotherapy is frequently given before surgery to shrink the tumor and reduce the spread of cancer
